We are excited to announce that Nigel Kennedy will be performing at Wells Cathedral on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 March with a programme including music by Bach, Komeda, Kennedy & Sakamoto
N?igel will be joined for these concerts by cellist, Peter Adams, a renowned soloist and chamber musician.
These concerts will be the only chance to see Nigel Kennedy perform this programme in the UK this year!
Destiny elevated Nigel Kennedy into one of classical music’s true greats.
He was born into a musical family, nurtured by a musical community, and propelled to international superstardom.
Kennedy remains the bestselling violinist of all time. He singled-handedly paved the way for a new generation of artists, who have enjoyed success both in the classical field and in the mainstream. His virtuoso technique, unique talent and mass appeal have brought fresh perspectives to both the classical and contemporary repertoire.
Pushing at the boundaries that might constrain others, he has continued to pioneer new sounds and new methods of performance.
Single-minded, determined and utterly unique, Kennedy explores repertoire which spans classical, jazz, klezmer, rock and much, much more.
